To: 911medic ref: szalajko usb issues hey i tried to explain to him last night that the symptoms of the usb ports either only powering up the hard drive but failing to install the driers to access it or not recognizing at all that the hard drive is connected is a driver issue. he was lead to beleive that haing a SLIC 2.1 will fix/give him more options in the bios to fix his problems. he stated that in Windows XP and Windows Vista he had no such problems however after installing Windows 7(unknown what release) that these problems started to occur. i checked HP's website he is using the most current unmodified BIOS, however they only list drivers for XP (X86/X64) and Vista (X86/X64). To: szalajko ref: USB Drive do you have a DOS bootable USB Flash Drive. if not do you have access to another computer to test if the usb hard drive if functioning correctly.
yes, i have access to another computer, the flash drive works there, not on here thou, another update, i just ordered an 3.5 external hd, same works downstairs on another comp but not on this one, unrecog. device
also its worth mentioning that, from the 4 usb ports i have, 3 of them are 1.1 and 1 is 2.0 only the 2.0 usb port reports that an unknown device is pluged in, if i try pluging it into the 1.1 it dosnt even say that, just power goes to the unit but nothing happens
not yet, should i use the exe that you provided or the extracted files you provided which is better? ( i know they are the same but...) which has a better chance of not canning my pc
k 911 THX A LOT i will do it as soon as i finish watching 9 (bad ass movie) and after that i will do bios update you were so kind to provide me with and watch the serigates. man i hope that bios will not do anything bad to my laptop..
